Answer:

If Earth's axis was not tilted then the climate zones would change, there would be no seasons, and the day and night will last the same all year.

Explanation:

Earth's axis is tilted, and with it circling around the Sun, there a great effects on the planet's surface, from climate, duration of day and night throughout the year, change of seasons, amount of sunlight, etc. But if this was to change and Earth's axis is not tilted, then there will changes in pretty much everything on Earth's surface.

The climate zones will be very clearly separated by latitude, and every climate zone will be more or less monotonous throughout the year, with just minimal changes every now and then. This will happen because the amount of sunlight and the angle under which the sunlight falls will the same at a given place throughout all of the year. The day and night will also be the same, unlike the changes they experience with the tilted axis. To put it simply, the equatorial area will remain pretty much the same, but if we take the temperate zones then they will experience climate like it is always spring or autumn, while the higher latitudes will constantly be frozen and experience winter.

Have you ever wondered what makes weather? What causes it to snow, rain, get cold, or hot? Weather is simply the state of the at

1. The weather is made out of the conditions in the atmosphere at a particular place at a particular time, or rather at the moment. There are lot of different weather conditions, and they all depend on lot of different factors in order to occur. In order to have snowfall, there has to be cold air masses that will encounter humid air masses along the way, freeze the water vapor and produce snow. The rainfall occurs if there are warm and humid air masses that encounter either cold air masses, or some high mountain, that will cause condensation, and thus rainfall. The weather tends to be cold when there is cold air masses moving or forming into an area, while the hot weather is a consequence of the hot and dry air masses that form over the continents.

2. The weather is very hard to predict, even on the short term. The problem with the prediction of the weather is that it changes very quickly, and the main reason for that is that it is influenced by numerous factors, all of which can contribute to sharp changes in the weather conditions. Some of the factors that influence the weather on Earth are the planet's inclination, the planet's spinning around its own axis, global wind patterns, ocean currents, topography of the area, formation and movement of the air masses etc.

3. The ozone layer is a layer into another layer, the stratosphere. The ozone layer is extremely important, as it has the property that enables it to absorb very big amount of the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. This layer is actually crucial for the survival for pretty much all organisms on Earth, as it stops the ultraviolet radiation from frying them. The depletion of the ozone layer is a serious problem, as it will cause larger portion of the ultraviolet to get to the surface, which will cause serious damage to most of the living organisms, including the humans, and maybe even result in mass dying out of the species if the depletion becomes too big.

Which New Zealand cultural tradition is represented in the photo above?
olga_2 [115]

The haka is a traditional war cry, war dance, or challenge in Māori culture. It is a posture dance performed by a group, with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment.[a]

War haka were originally performed by warriors before a battle, proclaiming their strength and prowess in order to intimidate the opposition, but haka are also performed to welcome distinguished guests, or to acknowledge great achievements, occasions or funerals, and kapa haka (performing arts) groups are very common in schools.
